YOU A SQUID?
Turn Your Avatar, into a GrAvatar … then it will follow you.
Bring your avatar with you …
1) You may have noticed that you were assigned a monster avatar (or maybe a squid or another similar creature) when you added your first comment here, and if you’ve been paying real good attention, you may have seen the same creature avatar on other sites, too … it’s an algorithm, that uses your unique email address to create a unique creature. Or, you can create your own.
You will notice you have the same monster each time you use that same email address on an GrAvatar-enhanced site. But I have my EYE. And if I make a comment on another site, my EYE appears there, too.
Why do EYE, but not thy? 
I’ve incorporated Gravatars (Globally Recognized avatars) on this and other sites. Gravatars were the brainchild of Matt, the same Matt who designed and created WordPress, the CMS (content management system) and blog software that runs this site and the majority of blogs on the planet.
A gravatar follows your email address from blog-to-blog, while still maintaining total privacy. Meaning that when you sign up on any blog that has gravatars switched on, the avatar you selected for that email address appears automatically on that blog when you post something. You can have as many email addresses with as many different avatars. And when you change an avatar, all the old ones on the Web are switched out with your new one.
Your gravatar does not need to identify you, as it can be of anything.
Changing your gravatar is very simple. You update it in just one place, and wherever the old one appeared, it’s replaced with your new one.
Just gather up some images and sign-up at Gravatar.com
It’s very easy, and much better than being a generic squid!
